Somewhere in between graduating college in Biology and attempting to have a life. This is my story of my running, working, relationships, school, friends and support. My ups, downs, complete failures, and undenying truths along the way. Oh, did I mention I am recovering from an eating disorder in the midst of it all? Welcome to life in recovery…. it gets a little bumpy.

Category: Presidency

It isn’t so much a matter of loving one candidate and hating the other.

It isn’t hating someone who has different beliefs than you.

What it is, is white privilege, double standards, and blaming others.

If Obama had half of the accusations that Trump had against him, Obama would have not been allowed to pursue the presidency.

If a black man has numerous women accusing him of sexual assault he would have been arrested.

If a black man had children from various women he would be a pimp.

It is the fact that Brock Turner got a slap on the wrist, Trump became president, and blacks are fearing for their life.

At the same time it is our job to take these results and do something productive. If you do not agree with what is going on, change it for the better. The way you handle a situation has a huge influence on the outcome. Burning an American flag, violently protesting, and hurting others isn’t making Trump look bad, or Hilary look good. It is making the individual look like a close minded fool.

The students who assaulted and harassed a female, or claimed they could “grab her by the pussy”, because our president-elect seems to advocate for that, is ridiculous. You are responsible for your actions. You cannot blame someone else for how you are acting.

We are not stuck in our terrible twos, we cannot blame a person we have never met on our behaviors, but nor do we have to condone his sexist, racist, misogynist behavior neither.
